Is there an alternative for the Windows software "hashcheck" in Ubuntu?

Question

hashcheck checks for matches of many common hash codes. (See http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/)

Is there an alternative for this software for Windows on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

Most sum checking utilities are already included in Linux as command line programs - a few can be listed by running ls $(echo $PATH | sed -e s/:/' '/g) | grep sum (which searches the directories of executables to find filenames containing sum) :

sum
cksum
md5sum
md5sum-lite
sha1sum
sha224sum
sha256sum
sha384sum
sha512sum
shasum
sum

So you can get the md5 sum by running:

md5sum /PATH/TO/FILE(S)

and the sha1 sum by running:

sha1sum /PATH/TO/FILE(S)

For other commands (although these usually use a similar syntax), you can search for their usage & options online or by using manual or help commands:

man cksum
cksum --help

MD4: I do not think has been used or included much outside of Windows for a few years due security concerns, although the rhash package appears to support it.

If you want a GUI, as this suggests, you can use this:

or other similar packages like gtkhash, which look like they can integrate into Ubuntu's file managers. Otherwise, you may be able to run it under Wine

Answer 2

GtkHash

$ sudo apt install gtkhash
